The right front rims have been replaced three times. The consumer stated the rims bend easily and allow air to escape upon the slightest impact on road surfaces.

My daughter was driving my 2003 Suzuki Aerio with my infant grand daughter in the car and the rim snapped in 2 pieces and the whole wheel fell off and the car slip 175 feet on the rotor. When taken to the dealer for repair I was told that this was not a defect and I had to pay out of pocket for all the damages including the body work. I was without a vehicle for over 30 days no rental car and my daughter's back was injured in the accident. Also the brake light keeps randomly lighting up and going out and no one seems able to figure out why.
